**Release Blitz** High by LP Lovell

I’m Blake McQueen, daughter of Miles McQueen: businessman, politician, all around upstanding member of the community.

I’m told that name means something, but well, I’ve pretty much doused it in petrol, set it on fire, and taken a shit on it for good measure. I like to think of myself as a walking middle finger.

My name is now synonymous with booze, parties, sex, and drugs. I have to read the newspaper in the morning just to see where I was, possibly who I fucked, and judge my state of inebriation based on how much tit or minge is splashed across page five.

Judge me all you like, love me, hate me. I don’t give a fuck.

Life’s a party and you should never stop dancing.

But even the sweetest of highs has it’s low. There is only so high you can go before you fall, and fall I did, right into the arms of the only man that could possibly stop me from crashing and burning. I’ve always been untouchable. I’ve never cared enough to be touchable. Until now.

Lauren Lovell is an indie author from England. She suffers from a total lack of brain to mouth filter and is the friend you have to explain before you introduce her to anyone, and apologise for afterwards.

She's a self-confessed shameless pervert, who may be suffering from slight peen envy.

"So, when you fall in love, is it love, or is it simply the instinctual addiction of human nature? And if so, then surely we are all addicts because love is undoubtedly that which we covet most. Love is the most destructive drug of all."

For some, love starts with hearts and flowers. Others find love in a different way...blow, threesomes and epic hangovers to be exact. The last group is an elite group, where only the strong will survive, and the weak will get kicked to the curb and forgotten. LP takes us into a world where being "High" is sometimes the only way you can survive.

"I’m not an addict, but I’ll admit that I chase the high. It doesn’t need to be a particular high. It can be drink, sex, drugs, whatever. Normal, boring, quiet—these have become the things I cannot stand because it’s in the quiet of the low that I start to think, and I don’t want to think. I just want to be. I want to live. I want to feel alive."

Blake McQueen is as elite as they come. Spoiled, rich, ultimate party girl and way too much time on her hands. To anger her parents, Blake takes extreme measures to ensure her Mommy and Daddy will see her fall. But what Blake doesn't expect, is for someone else to be there to pick her up. Enter Rhett. Rich, handsome, but with his own secrets and turmoil, Rhett has to decide what is the best way to finally get his happy ending...

"I don’t feel the need to be the train wreck of a person when I’m around him, but what scares me is if he leaves. Nothing is forever, but in such a short period of time, he’s become my new addiction. He’s more addictive than any cocaine. He has shaken me to my core. He’s just like that very first hit I ever took, unattainable. I crave him. I need him on a primal level."

This book...oh this book! Let's just say I read High in four hours!! FOUR HOURS PEOPLE!!! One of THE best books I have had the pleasure of reading and reviewing. LP is a wordsmith. Flawless, creative, and damn, she can hold a person's attention! Do yourself a favour and read High by LP Lovell!!
